What to have for dinner…

Looking for a recipe for dinner then Tuna Pasta with Olive and Fresh Tomatoes is a quick and fresh tuna recipe that is full of clean and colourful flavors.An easy dinner ready in 25 minutes! Healthy, quick and delicious!

Tuna Pasta with Olive and Fresh Tomatoes

Tuna Pasta with Olive and Fresh Tomatoes is a perfect summer pasta dish with a little cook time with all the ingredients already in your pantry! The leftovers keep well in fridge for several days.

Tuna’s flavor and texture play up when canned in olive oil. The texture is juicy and dripping. The flavor is rich and not dark and ready to eat right out of the tin. Tuna in salt water solution may actually decrease the omega 3 fatty acids, the water extracts out flavor, and creates tuna that is dry and sometimes stringy.

That said we still love our water-canned tuna salad smeared with all the fixings. And totally no shame if you prefer tuna in water or that is what you have on hand, just adjust your seasonings and add a little more olive oil.

Ingredients

  • Kosher salt for the pasta water, plus more to taste
  • 12 ounces short pasta (such as shells, macaroni, rigatoni)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (plus 2 tablespoons if you are using tuna packed in water)
  • 1/4 cup minced shallot or onion
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 (5-ounce) cans tuna packed in olive oil, drained
  • 1 (14-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped Kalamata olives
  • 1 teaspoon capers
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Method

  1. Boil the water:

Bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil (add 1 tablespoon salt for every 2 quarts of water). While the water is heating, prep the ingredients and start the sauce.

  1. Sauté the shallots, garlic, and red pepper flakes:

Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large sauté pan on medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped shallots, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes at the same time to the pan. Let cook for about 30 seconds. (If you are subbing onions for the shallots, let them cook a few minutes before adding the garlic and red pepper flakes.)

3. Add the tuna:

Drain the canned tuna and add it to the pan. If you are using tuna packed in water and not olive

oil, add 2 or 3 more tablespoons of olive oil to the pan.

Break up any chunks of tuna with a fork or wooden spoon. Let simmer for 1 minute.

4. Add the tomatoes, olives, capers, salt, and pepper:

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, olives, capers, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper.

Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to the lowest setting to gently cook while you cook the

pasta.

5. Cook the pasta:

Add dry pasta to the pot of boiling salted water. Cook uncovered at a vigorous full boil until al dente —

Before draining, remove 1 cup of the pasta water and set aside.

cooked, but still a little firm to the bite, about 13 to 14 minutes.

Before draining, remove 1 cup of the pasta water and set aside.

6. Combine the pasta, sauce, Parmesan and parsley:

Drain the pasta and stir into the sauce. Toss with grated Parmesan and chopped fresh parsley. If the

pasta seems a little dry after a few minutes, add back in some of the reserved pasta water.
